New roommate

We used to have two cats: Mickey and Kuchi. Mickey wasn’t too pleased when whe introduced Kuchi to him. He would hiss at Kuchi, who returned the favour by hitting his butt. The two of them never became friends -to put it mildly.
Two years ago Mickey passed away Sad at the respectable age of 18. From then on Kuchi has been the “only child “. He really enjoys that privilige and follows us through the day.

But since a week a new white furry critter called Catootje has intruded his house. She belongs to a friend of us, but couldn’t get along with the 4 cats who are now living with him. So we decided to give it a chance. Surprisingly she felt at home very quickly. Only occasionally she hides under the bed and she enjoys our company & the tiny bits of cheese we give her (actually she’ll grab it out of your hand like a shark attack). The only downside to this story is that she and Kuchi aren’t really getting along. They try to avoid eachother and when it comes to a confrontation, Catootje will hiss at Kuchi. Kuchi has found his new spot on a cardboard box and Catootje is living at the other end of the room.

I’m missing Kuchi’s attention right now. He’s no longer the enthusiastic cat that will sit on my lap before I can even touch the couch. We still hope that everything will work out though, so we decided to give them a little longer to get used to eachother. If you have any tips, please share them! We do spend time with both of them and they have got their own blankets and bowls.

Now on to the winner of the Trick or Treat “contest”. The randomizer picked number 5 and 9, corresponding to commenters Carina and Pepsi. Congratulations Cake You will both receive some kawaii stationery.
Have a great weekend everyone!
